US Mobile Data Traffic Usage Exceeds Voice

MojoKid writes "A report just released states that total mobile data traffic topped mobile voice traffic in the United States last year, for the first time. In fact, globally, data traffic topped voice traffic on a monthly basis last year, and the total traffic across the world exceeded an exabyte for the first time in 2009. Apparently, North America and Western Europe's mobile data markets are growing so rapidly they each should exceed an exabyte sometime in 2010. Interestingly, the nations with the largest data service revenues were: the US, Japan, China, the UK, Italy, Germany, France, Australia, Spain and Korea, respectively."

That doesn't mean they won't sell minutes and bill by the meg.

Or, more lucratively, bill by the TXT.
(aka, "What do you mean these 160 bytes cost 4000x more than other bytes?")
